Chapter 14 Zhu Ming's Dragon Vein Is So Far (3)
Bossile escorted Zhu Cihuan to the governor's yamen. In the governor's yamen, Zhao Shixian personally interrogated, and Bosil sat next to Zhao Shixian to listen to the trial.
Zhao Shixian asked Zhu Cihuan's owner, "Who are you?" The owner replied: "Li Liyuan, who ordered Li Liyuan in Xiaraoyang County, is an old friend of Wang Shiyuan. Zhao Shixian said: "You are a scholar and an official, you should know the law, why do you want to harbor this Zhu and let him break the law?" Li Liyuan didn't know that Wang Shiyuan was Zhu Cihuan, and was confused by Zhao Shixian's question, so he said: "I usually only know how to read, and I don't ask about the world." I don't know anyone Zhu, and I don't dare to do anything illegal. β
Zhao Shixian said: "Then tell me, who is this tutor invited by your family." Li Liyuan said: "The teacher's name is Wang Shiyuan, the word Qianzhai, a southerner, I met him in Dongping twenty years ago, and came to the house to be a teacher in the winter before last. What illegal things he did, I don't know. β
Zhao Shixian called Zhu Cihuan in again. After Zhu Cihuan came in, Zhao Shixian asked Zhu Cihuan: "Who are you?" Zhu Cihuan said: "I am Zhu Cihuan, the prince of the former dynasty, who was originally named the king, but now, I have to tell the truth." Zhu Cihuan's answer almost scared Li Liyuan to death.
Zhao Shixian and Bosil looked at each other and nodded to each other. Zhao Shixian asked: "Zhu Cihuan, tell me how you became a native of Zhejiang?" Zhu Cihuan said: "In the last years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng besieged the city of Beijing. My father handed me over to the king's officials, and I hid among the people. After the city was broken, the royal officials offered me to Li Zicheng, who in turn handed me over to General Du. Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng fled from Beijing, and at that time, a general Mao took me to Henan, sold my war horses, bought ploughing cattle, and became a farmer. Later, the imperial court began to investigate the thieves, and General Mao was scared and left me alone and ran away. At that time, I was thirteen years old, and I went south alone, and met an old squire surnamed Wang in Fengyang, who had been an imperial historian in the previous dynasty. I stayed at his house and changed my surname to Wang, so I took the pseudonym 'Wang Shiyuan'. Read with his children. When I was eighteen or nineteen years old, Squire Wang fell ill and died, and I left the Wang family and went to a monastery in Jiangnan to become a monk. Later, I met a gentleman surnamed Hu in Yuyao, who was also a son of an official eunuch, who brought me home, grew his hair and returned to the vulgar, and married his daughter to me as his wife. I have a few thatched huts and a half-acre garden. That's probably the experience. β
Bossil showed Zhao Shixian's meaning, and the two whispered a few words, and then Zhao Shixian said to Zhu Cihuan: "Now there are two rebellions in Jiangnan, and the banners are to support you as the monarch and restore the Ming Dynasty. So, now it's time to take you to confront. Boshel said: "Since you are Zhu Cihuan, then come with me." β
Seeing that Bo Xile escorted Zhu Cihuan all the way south, Wang Qianyuan followed in secret, and saw that Bo Xile escorted Zhu Cihuan and did not go north to the capital, but went south, Wang Qianyuan, Mu Laizhang and others were very puzzled, so they continued to follow secretly.
Bossile has been escorting Zhu Cihuan to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. When he arrived in Hangzhou Mansion, this time the imperial court sent another minister, Mu Dan, who presided over the trial. Secondly, in addition to Bo Xile, there are many generals such as General Zhenhang, Governor of Liangjiang, Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Governor of Jiangsu, and Governor of Zhejiang.
At the beginning of the interrogation, Mu Dan, the minister of the Qin Mission, asked Zhu Cihuan: "Are you Wang Shiyuan?" Zhu Cihuan said: "My real surname is Zhu, my name is Cihuan, and I changed my name to Wang Shiyuan. Mu Dan asked: "Since you are Zhu Cihuan, the court treats you well, why do you want to rebel?" Zhu Cihuan said: "I did not rebel. I am now 75 years old, my blood and qi have failed, and my hair is completely white, so why should I rebel? The Qing court had three great favors to the previous dynasty, and I will never forget it, so why should I rebel?"
Mu Dan asked: What are the three great graces?" Zhu Cihuan said: "Now the emperor has killed the thieves and avenged my Zhu family. Whoever I first goes to my descendants, I will never kill, two. The tomb of the ancestors of the Zhu family, the current emperor bows to pay tribute, and the three are also. Zhu Cihuan raised his head and sighed: "I am seventy-five years old this year, my blood and qi have failed, and my sideburns are all white, if I rebel, why don't I take advantage of the rebellion of the three feudatories at the beginning, but on the day when there is nothing to do in Qingning? Besides, the so-called rebels will occupy the city, accumulate grass and grain, buy military horses, and build military weapons, do you see that I have done a single thing? I have not done any such thing, but I have only taught a few children to read in Shandong, how can there be any rebellion?"
After hearing this, Mu Dan ordered and said: "Bring Zhang Mou, who is rebelling in Zhejiang, and ask him who is the third prince of Zhu." His subordinates brought Zhang Nian, who had rebelled before, with him. Mu Dan asked: "Zhang Nianyi, let me ask you, do you know who the third prince Zhu is?" Zhang Nianyi couldn't answer when he heard it, and said: "We just used the name of the third prince Zhu to order the people, but we don't actually know him." β
Mu Dan asked Li Liyuan again: "This Wang Shiyuan has been in your house for nearly two years, do you really not know his details?" Li Liyuan said: "I used to be an official of the imperial court, and my predecessors once received the imperial court's edicts. If I knew his details, how could I dare to correspond with him in chess and poetry, and not avoid people's eyes?"
Mu Dan didn't dare to make a presumptuous argument after hearing this, so he discussed with Bossil and several other governors, and Mu Dan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think what this person who calls himself Zhu Cihuan is not unreasonable. Besides, a few years ago, the emperor also said that he would visit a descendant of the Ming Dynasty to become an official, and this Zhu Cihuan seems to be the best candidate, so we should not make decisions on our own. Bossil said: "I think it is better to send the interrogation record to the capital, and the criminal department will adjudicate it." Mu Dan said: "It's okay, this Zhu Cihuan, let's treat him first, give him good food and drink, and wait for the news from the capital." Several people nodded.
It didn't take much time to get the verdict from the Criminal Department here, and Bosi Lemudan and others opened it and looked at it, which read: "Although Zhu has no rebellion, he has not been without the intention of rebellion." It should be proposed to make a big deal to put an end to the chaos. After careful questioning of Li, he insisted that he did not know, but he was arrested in Yi's house, and he lived there for more than a year, saying that he had to know. With the example of knowing without being the first, he wandered for 3,000 miles. So Bosil and others escorted Zhu Cihuan to the capital with heavy troops.
This news was quickly obtained by Wang Qianyuan and others, and Wang Qianyuan and others began to plan, preparing to rob Zhu Cihuan on the way to the capital.
Let's say that Bo Xile and others escorted Zhu Cihuan all the way north to the capital. As soon as Zhu Cihuan's team left the outskirts of Hangzhou, Bosil immediately became alert, and he guessed that Ren Buji, Wang Qianyuan, Mu Laizhang and others would definitely come to rob people. Listening to a whistle in the woods, Bossil said, "Be careful, this is the code of the thief." The officers and men immediately became alert, and Bosil looked around.
After not seeing anyone come out to rob anyone for a long time, Bosil ordered: "Go on." "A few miles further on, there was movement all around, and Bosil and the officers and men became alert again. The movement in the forest kept ringing, and Bosil looked at everything around him and said, "Who is the thief, who has the ability to come out and fight with me." Bossil waited for a long time without moving.
Bossil led the troops all the way, and there was movement on the road repeatedly, but no one showed up each time. This went on and on, and all the officers and soldiers were not impressed, only Bosil was always on the alert. Listening to the rustling of the woods, all the officers and soldiers walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, arrows rained down on both sides of the jungle. Bossil said: "Be careful, and watch the prisoners." "Swing your sword against the bow and arrows. The officers and men were paralyzed at this time, and they had no defense against the surroundings, and they were shot by random arrows.
At this time, hundreds of people suddenly killed in the jungle on both sides, and Boshel said: "Look at the prisoners. With that, he walked to Zhu Cihuan's side and watched it deadly.
Ren Buji, Mu Laizhang and others fought with the officers and soldiers. Wang Qianyuan stepped forward to rob people, but Bosil stepped forward to stop him, and Wang Qianyuan turned around and hit Bosil. Bossil did not dodge, reached out and touched Wang Qianyuan's arm, stepped up to attack, and hit Wang Qianyuan's chin and faΓ§ade with a move "Ambergris Hot Spring". Wang Qianyuan first sealed his hand with a cross, a move "Huiri Palm", this palm is pure yang, such as the scorching sun, and Bosil's side is a move "Ice Water Cold Spring", this palm is the true qi of extreme yin, and the yin is used to control yang. The two have two palms and a pair, yin and yang.
Look at the heroes and officers and soldiers fighting together, fighting in a group. Seeing that there were many thieves, Bossil left the prisoner's cart and ran all the way to the capital with his men. Mu Laizhang and the others got into the prison car and found that there was a dead person sitting inside, and everyone saw that this person was not Zhu Cihuan. Wang Qianyuan said: "It's not good, we have been tricked. β
And the real Zhu Cihuan has been escorted to the capital by Mu Dan, and Bo Xile has also Pegasus to catch up with Mu Dan's team. After Bosil imprisoned Zhu Cihuan in the prison of the Criminal Department in the capital, he left the capital to track down the whereabouts of Ren Buji, Wang Qianyuan and others.
At this time, Wang Qianyuan, Mu Laizhang and others went all the way north, until they reached a mountain outside the capital, to discuss the next step.
Mu Laizhang said: "Now that His Highness has been caught by Bossil and brought to the Criminal Department, I think that if the Criminal Department determines His Highness's identity, he will definitely kill His Highness." Wang Qianyuan said: "We failed to rescue His Highness on the way, and now His Highness is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department in the capital, and it is even more impossible for His Highness to leave if he wants." Ren Buru said: "The old man of Bosilna has caught His Highness, and the next step must be to try to lure the snake out of the hole and wipe us out." β
Wang Qianyuan said: "Kangxi must have taken His Royal Highness to the execution ground with great fanfare, sent Bo Xile to behead us, so as to lure us out to rob the law field, and then wipe us out." Mu Laizhang said: "Then what should we do, we can't watch His Highness being killed." β
Gong Tianrui said: "I don't think Kangxi necessarily killed His Royal Highness, I heard that a few years ago Kangxi said that he would visit a descendant of the Ming Dynasty to become an official, is it possible for Kangxi to use this to put His Royal Highness under house arrest, first, to show his benevolence and leniency, to buy people's hearts, second, Kangxi thinks that as long as His Royal Highness is controlled by Kangxi for a day and does not die, we anti-Qing people cannot act rashly, Kangxi holding a living Zhu Cihuan, wouldn't it be more threatening to us than holding a dead Zhu Cihuan." Wang Qianyuan nodded after hearing this and said: "I think Brother Tianrui has a point, let's not act rashly and make plans depending on the situation." The crowd nodded.
At this time, Pang Yizhou came over and said, "Report to the alliance master, Bosil is here with troops." Ren Bujian closed his eyes and said: "It's him again, the ghost is not gone, he is not killed by him, and he is annoyed to death." β
After everyone went out, they saw Bo Xile with a large number of people at the bottom of the mountain, Ren Bujian said: "You old thing is not annoying, everyone has been arrested by you, what are you still here to toss, I see you all the way from Jinan to Hangzhou, and from Hangzhou to the capital, all the way to the hard work, hurry up to find Kangxi Lao'er to receive the reward." Bossile smiled and said, "I'm here today to recruit you." Ren Bujian said: "Phew, recruit your uncle's Ann." β
Bossil laughed, "I'm here to subdue you today." Now that Zhu Cihuan has been taken down by me, you are already leaderless, surrender quickly, don't do any more fighting of trapped beasts, I can still let the emperor forgive you lightly, and the emperor may be able to open the net, not kill Zhu Cihuan and you gang of thieves, let you abandon the darkness and turn to the light. But if you are stubborn, then there will be no one left. Ren Bujian said: "You old thing don't know what you're talking about, what nonsense." β
Mu Laizhang said: "Bosil, release the people quickly, otherwise we will not be able to spare you, and it will be a big deal for us to burn the jade." Bossil said, "Now that you are surrounded and trapped on this mountain, I want to see how long you can last." β
Bossil ordered his men to surround the place so that not even a bird could fly out. Everyone looked at Bosil's posture on the mountain, and Ren Buru said: "This old thing is making us dumplings, and now we can't get out at all." Wang Qianyuan said: "He is planning to trap us in the mountains. β
Wang Qianyuan led the crowd to break through the siege several times, but not only did he not succeed, but also lost his troops and lost his generals, and everyone retreated back. Looking at the passage of each day, one more day, one more day of danger for Zhu Cihuan, and even whether Zhu Cihuan is alive or dead now, everyone can't know.
Mu Laizhang walked out of the room and looked at the military camp under the mountain worriedly. Duan Xue walked over and said, "Mu Lang, we can't break through right now, you've stayed up for so long, go back and rest for a while." Mu Laizhang frowned and said: "Now that His Highness's life and death are uncertain, and we are trapped here by Bosil, how can I rest well." β
Mu Laizhang looked down at Duan Xue and asked, "Since marrying me, I have been taking you everywhere to fight against the Tartar Mansion, fighting and killing, do you regret it?" Duan Xue said: "Marry a chicken and marry a dog, since I recognize you, I naturally want to integrate into everything about you." Mu Laizhang said: "Since I decided to oppose the Qing Dynasty, my life has been handed over to God, if one day I die on the battlefield for the great cause ......of restoring my sight," Duan Xue interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense." β
Duan Xue looked at Mu Laizhang and said, "I will go wherever you go, even if, even if there is really that day, we will hold hands on Huangquan Road and be husband and wife in front of the palace of the king of Hades." Mu Laizhang was moved in his heart after hearing this, hugged Duan Xue and said, "I Mu Laizhang can meet you, this life is enough." β
Duan Xue said: "Mu Lang, no matter what you want to do, let it go, because there are so many good brothers to help you, and with me with you, I will never leave you." Mu Laizhang hugged Duan Xue and said: "One day, I will definitely be the king of the world, and then I will hold you forever, accompany you, and make up for all the happiness I owe you." β
Duan Xue asked, "Can you promise me one thing?" Mu Laizhang said, "You say." Duan Xue said: "If one day you really help your Highness regain his glory, I hope you can go away and don't covet officialdom and fame." β
Mu Laizhang smiled and asked, "Compared to you, those are all floating clouds." Tell me where you want to go?" Duan Xue said: "I want to go to a quiet, secluded place where there is no fight or struggle, and I hope there is the fragrance of flowers everywhere." Mu Laizhang said: "Okay, let's go to a quiet, secluded, no fighting, no fighting, there is the fragrance of flowers everywhere." Duan Xue said: "Let's find a place where no one can disturb us to live our own lives, we practice swords, drink tea, and live the life of ordinary people." Mu Laizhang smiled: "Okay, I promise you." β
Duan Xue said: "Mu Lang, I hope that from one day on, I can always be in your arms, and I will never leave you half a step." Mu Laizhang said: "Okay, I will do my best to give it to you." β
Let's say that after so many days have passed, Bosil's side can't attack, and the heroes can't come out. The two sides were at a stalemate until September, when Bosil suddenly got the news that Zhu Cihuan had closed the case and wanted to return to Beijing, so he had to withdraw his troops.
Bossil first returned to the guard's office, and then to the criminal department, where he heard the private discussions of the officials in various yamen. Bo Xile didn't know what was going on, and when he heard it carefully, he was shocked, it turned out that Kangxi abolished Yinren's position as the crown prince, and this matter shook the government and the opposition.
